Take Me Home Tour Night 1

Harper

The boys were putting in an amazing show. First their opening act was amazing and really set the mood for the crowd, and then the boys went out and everything just amplified.

The crowd was going crazy, screaming at the top of the lungs and singing along to every song. And each time the boys interacted with them, they screamed louder.

They've really grown in popularity since their first tour, which would also explain the difference in the atmosphere.

Plus, with the boys being older and more confident, the general vibe of the show was different. But it was different in a good way. They were being funny, messing with each other and the fans a little bit, and dare I say they were being a little inappropriate in some of their songs, but the teenage girls staring at them nearly fainted each times the boys did something remotely sexual.

I was standing side stage with a few other people, including Eleanor and Perrie, Louis and Zayn's girlfriends. We were all dancing and singing around to the songs, enjoying the show. The girls could have sat in the seats but they chose to hang backstage with me.

They're both known to the public, especially seeing as Perrie is in her own band, but I'm not. I've been photographed a few times but nothing that showed my face. So for now I'm the mystery girl that has been spotted with One Direction one more than one occasion. But, we thankfully have a story and a reason now if my face ever got pictured with the boys.

Harry pulled some strings and got me a job on tour with Lou. After I finished school I went and got my cosmetology license. I had no idea what I wanted to do but I knew I needed to do something to start making money. And cosmetology was a shorter schooling which meant I could be done and out of my dads house quicker.

Well, more like an internship seeing as I'm not being paid. But I don't mind. It keeps me away from my dad and I get to tour the world with Harry, what else could a girl want? Plus, Lou is fantastic.

The show ended far quicker than I wanted it to, same with all the fans in the crowd seeing as they all started chanting for another song.

The boys ran out to the three of us with smiles on their faces. Zayn and Louis ran to their girls and Harry ran to me, Niall following closely behind. I handed each of them a towel and a water bottle.

"You guys were amazing!"

"Well we're not done yet." Niall gave me a cheeky smile, wiping his face off with the towel.

Harry and I smiled at each other, a silent conversation happening between the two of us. He gave me a wink before he and Niall handed me their waters and towels, running back onto stage to finish up the show.

I watched them finish until they were thanking their fans one last time before the lights cut. I turned on my heel, hearing the deafening screams as I went back to the dressing room to find Lou. I reached the dressing room to see her starting to clean up.

"Hey love, how was it?"

"So good, they just keep getting better and better." I threw away the boys water bottles and put the towels in a hamper. "How can I help?"

"Uhm... can you pack up that corner and then we can go from there. After we're done we can load this all up in the busses and then we can head to the after party." I nodded, heading to the corner she wanted packed up first.

It only took us a few minutes to get everything packed up and cleaned up and then we were headed to the venue to meet everyone else. When we got there Lou and I split ways, she went to go hangout with some other people on the crew and I found the quickest route to the bar.
